Sooo, to replace the earpiece assembly, you have to bust your screen?

Jasen Putney - Nov 20, 2014

Did you use the miniature hammer for that step David?

Where can I purchase a headphone jack to replace my defective one?

Chris Del Sesto - Jun 23, 2015

Installed everything correctly. Ear piece works fine, however my headphone jack (which was the faulty component in the first place) does not work at all. The phone does not even detect when I have a pair of earbuds plugged in. I replaced this piece due to heavy static out of the headphone jack.
